Basic Watercolor Class

The Very Basics of Watercolor

Steve Kleier
Tuesday September 5, 10-1pm

$25 drop in

This class is for those who want to start from the beginning with watercolor. We start with a brief discussion about colors, materials and set up. Then most of the class will be about controlling the paint and the fundamental techniques of watercolor handling. We will practice graded washes, dry brush, achieving lights and darks and other useful skills.

Unlike oil or acrylic paint that stays where you put it watercolor has a mind of its own. It is this quality of natural interaction between the pigments the water and the paper that give watercolor it's unique character and along with its beautiful transparency has made it so popular.

I have won many awards and have been a watercolor teacher for more than 10 years. I enjoy painting all subjects and a variety of techniques. Join me for fun and learning.

Greg Lewis Evening Demo at OSA

Greg Lewis Evening Demo - Free

September 7 at 6pm

OSA's own exhibit installer, Greg Lewis, will be presenting a demo sampling of his drawing tricks and techniques gained over four decades of professional art and design practice.

Whether your art concepts are simple or complex, Greg will share basic drawing methods that will help make your art both time saving and fun. Bring your own drawing (tools and supplies, i.e. pencils, charcoal, pastels, eraser, etc.), as Greg will provide drawing paper.

Greg's demo will be preceded by a short critique session (doors open at 6). The demo itself starts at 7. It is free and open to the public — no need to be a member for this.  All age groups and art experience are encouraged to attend. There will also be some light refreshments.
